Here is my new apprentice, Patrick, and his first bird we trapped yeterday morning after about an hour of trapping at DFW airport....I don't think he has stopped smiling yet.....:-) Nothing beats your first trapped bird!!!!! Although, I am sure his arm must be tired by now from holding it out like that!!!LOL!!!

I believe that it weighed 1330 grams off the trap with a very small crop at the time. I am sure Noel will correct me if I am wrong!
I know that Patrick has been anxiously awaiting receipt of his permits since trapping season opened...he seems very knowledgeable and dedicated....I can't wait to see this bird in the field!
